Surviving Lockdown With Kids

Hey! Are you under lockdown thanks to the pesky Corona virus?

Do you have children who are currently not at school and are eroding your sanity by deciding to communicate solely through the medium of shrieking and fighting?

Perhaps you have an animal as a pet that has decided to start shitting everywhere just to spite you because obviously being locked down in a pressure cooker house with your loving family isn't punishment enough for your past sins?

Are you forced to eat basic food like a peasant and drink black coffee because all the real peasants have cleaned the shops out of fucking everything?

Have you had to wipe your ass with tinfoil because those same peasants above have purchased all of the paper products in the entire world?

Perhaps you are being made to work from home and engage in WebEx sessions in which the video quality is so bad it looks like you are talking to people comprised entirely of Lego?

Well, I can't promise to fix all of the above for you but heck, if I can fix one of them you might get ten minutes peace to at least go to the toilet without your kids following you and remarking on your poo-face.

But how?

This one is simple and it's for the kids.

Did you know that if you Google certain animals, Google offers a chance to View in 3D?

What!? You didn't? Let me show you!

Grab your kids and and your phone. Sit down in an open space and Google Lion.

It offers you the opportunity to View in 3D

Click that button!

Now it shows you this.

See that very special bit underneath the lion, View in your space.

Click it and let the magic begin...

It will engage your camera and ask you to move your phone about here and there.

And then...

Tada!! A fucking mahoosive lion will appear in your room! (Not really in your room.)

Your kids will stop fighting/screaming/shitting themselves and gaze at your phone in awe and wonder.

There are lots of animals that it works with.

In fact the list is literally endless.

You're welcome!

thats awesome - nice find, great share

Cheers lass!

Where's the damn beaver? I want to see a beaver.

I suppose they didn't put it up just in case they had some dsgruntled fellas complaining that the search was returning the wrong result!

There is no wrong result when it comes to seeing a beaver! Those fools.

Every braver is a winner!! It's like chicken but with feet and a flippery tail!

Is there chickens?!?!

In the seas perhaps. Sometimes I hear them

Chicken is my favorite seafood.

In the seas perhaps. Sometimes I hear them

Yes, we are on our 5th day of lock-down, but fortunately my kids are already big and at university!! We took out a large tree today - they swung the pick and spade, while I supervised!! LOL

That sounds magic. My oldest has regressed after a week and a half of it and now it's like having two toddlers sigh

O wow this is so cool - will give it to my friend - my house is quiet from little kids.........heaven

I maybe laughed a little bit louder than what a good mother or teacher would do hahaaha

Hahaha. That is a good one!!!!

Now that's pretty damn cool. Might see if it works with youngest's iPad the next time he rattles in here XD

I am pretty sure it should!!

Damn, you had a fun day but remember - the fun is just beginning! 😅

Ah yes, who knows what fun is to come! I think my house will end up like the hotel in the shining :0D

Haha, I recently watched the second part. Have you seen it?

Nah, I have not. Is it any good?

Ha, this is awesome, my stepson's smallish ones are here right now, I'll give it a go!

Hehe, excellent! The Tiger is a cool one!

What no Pangolin?

That comes later!!! ;0)

This seems hilarious but it will sure cure the boredom of staying completely at home, as for toilet papers we have surplus here lol. You should do a tutorial video many would need this your remedy for their unbearable children.

Ah, to have a surplus of toilet paper would be a fine thing. I am contemplating armed robbery to get my hands on some :0D

That would be the greatest geographical heist in history because from the US to Africa on robbery will be grandiose 🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps it might necessitate the building of an underground mole-machine!! 🤪🤣

Mole Machine? Hahaha maybe you can avoid land ninjas, traffickers and smugglers

That's the very best bit about a mole machine!

Wow. That’s awesome. Will give this a try.

Desperate times called for desperate googling! It is fun though! :0D

This is awesome! Thank you. Got two sons. 4.5 yrs and 2.5 yrs. This will be liquid gold.

No worries.I have a son and a daughter (7 & 2) and it has kept them entertained for ages!!

I'm 46 and I find it pretty entertaining!

Lol. I can't stop doing it myself long after the kids lost interest!

Great! Now there's a lion on my couch. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO USE MY COUCH NOW MEESTER?!? I better not now get Lionvirus.

Lionvirus is the worst, your should see what it does to your hair!! :0D

I've not yet sunk this low. Reblogging so I can find it next week though..

Just wait, that low is a coming!!! ;0)

I for an example, our school supposed to start their exam in one week time then boom the lockdown begins. Apart from the lockdown is boring for me, it also made me feel fustrated presently.

Well not everybody will feel like me

It is a boring thing this lockdown. Hopefully it won't be for too long!

Yeah hopefully

My phone shows the animal but not the view in your space option - maybe my phone is too old - but still very cool. I just miss a giraffe, dolphin and elephant , but guess they are still working on more.

Och, that's a darn shame. I didn't think it would matter which phone but it obviously does

Yes I do not worry about a new phone, as long as I can phone and whatsapp - my daughter and friend showed me it worked on their phones - very cool

Doesn't work on my phone either. It's an android Huawei Honor. Maybe the "view in your space" is only for Apple devices?

No my daughter also has a Huawei but just a newer model

Mine is just 2 years old! Guess it's a dinosaur.
